Controlled Unclassified Information is information that is not classified but still requires safeguarding or dissemination controls under law, regulation, or governmentwide policy. Think of categories like certain technical data, personally identifiable information, or procurement-sensitive material. It is too sensitive to release freely, but it does not rise to the level of classified national security information.
The National Archives and Records Administration runs the governmentwide CUI program and maintains the registry of CUI categories. The obligation to protect it, though, lands squarely on contractors who receive or generate it. In the defense world, the DFARS requires contractors handling covered information to implement the security controls in NIST Special Publication 800-171, and that requirement is increasingly verified through CMMC.
If your contracts involve CUI, protecting it is not optional, and the cost of compliance is real: access controls, training, incident reporting, and documented security practices. Getting it wrong can mean lost eligibility or contract action. Our full guide explains CUI training, compliance, and who is responsible for protecting it, and it connects directly to CMMC and the DFARS.
